Alastor Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hey there folks, nice to see the Minidisc community still alive since I was very happy with my own one a few years back. I stopped using it for quite some time because my I couldn't handle in-ear audio anymore. Well enough of that, I'm trying to use my MD again but I have this problem for a couple of months now..When I transfer songs from my PC to the MD through the OpenMG Jukebox (v. 2.2) program, they won't play. It's converting and transferring it perfectly but it doesn't play them. I'm not sure what the problem here seems to be, maybe the minidiscs themself? A while ago I tried to record songs via optical cable through the PS2 and those didn't work as well. I've read the sticky and there is no way in hell I am able to do all of that. I'm not very good at opening electronics and messing with them.Does anyone have experience with this problem and know how to fix it? I loved the soundquality of my Minidisc and it would be great if I could retrieve it's function without having it to send in for repairs or something.cheers.

Alastor Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah I just read a bunch of topics regarding this isue. Some ribbon defected or the recorderhead died or something. God damnit. This thing is 5 years old, Im not even sure I have the receipt and sure ain't gonna pay to get it fixed. Fuck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Just to rule some things out, does it play any discs?Also, does the track time progress on the unit itself when a track is played (but not heard)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastor Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 (edited) Funny, I used to mess a lot with the discs, but I just check it now and my older disc filled with music says its blank now. I had recorded 1 song to it.The player works fine, I can insert old discs and listen to music. The problem is merely recording. I'm gonna try recording with optical cable again now.About the track time progress, I don't think it progressed. Just stayed at 0:00 Edited January 3, 2008 by Alastor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raintheory Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 The older (OpenMG) software is fairly buggy. So it could be an issue with that...You may want to grab the newer SonicStage 4.2 program (for XP & older) from here: http://forums.minidisc.org/index.php?showtopic=17769If yr using Vista you'll need 4.3, but there have been reports of problems running 4.3 on computers that aren't running Vista.

Superbaldguy Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Alastor, getting 5 years from an MD unit is beyond what many people will achieve. Hopefully, it's just a software problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
